Add container to array on button click

Question

Okay, so originally, I had a program where when I clicked on the container, it added the entire container to an array, and then posted it in a sidebar.

Now I want it so when I click a button inside the div, it adds the entire container. Although I seem to have problems getting it working.

At the moment, it add the button to the array because I say .push($(this))

What would I use to add the entire individual div?

Clone the .parent() element.

favorites.push($(this).parent().clone());

Is there any way I could remove the button, once it is pushed to the array and posted on the sidebar?

Clone the parent and then call remove on the clone

var clone = $(this).parent().clone();
$(clone.find("input")).remove();
favorites.push(clone);
$('.favorite').append(favorites);
